What ChatGPT does
ChatGPT is the broadest option in this directory. Its Study mode is designed to ask questions, break concepts into steps, check understanding, and work with uploaded course materials instead of simply handing over a finished answer.
A flexible thinking partner when you keep the argument, evidence, and final prose under your control.
